Answer:

$18

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up some equations:

$J=36$

$B \times 2=J$

Solve for B:

$B = J / 2$

Substitute 36 for J:

$B= 36 / 2 = 18$

Nathan wants to use coordinate geometry to prove that the opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent. He places parallelogram A

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The formula determine the distance from C to D is:

$\sqrt{(0-a)^2+(-b)^2}=\sqrt{a^2}=a$

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

The formula that can be used to determine the distance from point C to point D is:

$\sqrt{(0-a)^2+(-b)^2}=\sqrt{a^2}=a$

We know that distance between two points A(a,b) and B(c,d) is equal to the length of the line segment AB and is calculated by the help of the formula:

$\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(b-d)^2}$

So, here we have:

(a,b)=(a,b) and (c,d)=(0,b)

Jane has a pre-paid cell phone with Splint. She can't remember the exact costs, but her plan has a monthly fee and a charge for

yan [13]

Answer:

The costs of the plan are $0.15 per minute and a monthly fee of $39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of minutes used

y ----> is the total cost

step 1

Find the slope of the linear equation

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have the ordered pairs

(100,54) and (660, 138)

substitute

$m=\frac{138-54}{660-100}$

$m=\frac{84}{560}=\$0.15\ per\ minute$

step 2

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=0.15\\point\ (100,54)$

substitute

$y-54=0.15(x-100)$

step 3

Convert to slope intercept form

Isolate the variable y

$y-54=0.15x-15\\y=0.15x-15+54\\y=0.15x+39$

therefore

The costs of the plan are $0.15 per minute and a monthly fee of $39

Polygon XYZW is dilated by a scale factor of 2 with point T as the center of dilation, resulting in the image X′Y′Z′W′. If point

Anettt [7]

Since the whole figure including all the points is enlarged at the same time, the dilated figure will still have the same slope and that includes the fact that point T is still in line Y'Z'. The slope or shape does not change, only the size alters.The center of dilation is still at Point T in this case.
